strength gain, expansive cement, polymer concrete, sulphur infiltrated concrete,
ferrocement, fibre reinforced concrete. Rust eliminators and polymers coating for
rebars during repair foamed concrete, mortar and dry pack, vacuum concrete -
Gunite and shotcrete epoxy injection, mortar repair for cracks, shoring and
underpinning.
UNIT 4 EXAMPLES OF REPAIR TO STRUCTURES
Repairs to overcome low member strength - Deflection, cracking, chemical
disruption, weathering wear, fire, leakage, marine exposure - Engineered demolition
techniques for dilapidated structures - Case studies

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS: ELECTRICAL WIRING

SYSTEMS
Laws of electrical circuits: Ohms and Kichoffs Laws Basics of electricity –
Single/Three phase supply. Earthing for safety – types of earthing - ISI
specifications Electrical wiring systems in domestic and commercial buildings.
Conduits, Types of wiring Diagram for connection. Bus way, Bus Bars, lighting
track and conduits (Aluminum metallic, non metallic) arrangements. Power
handling, equipment, switch board, panel boards. Lighting conductors : Purpose,
materials, fixing, earthing arrangements Electronic and Communication systems
Communication and data systems- communication spaces, pathways, cabling
systems, voice and data, communication, Electronic security systems, computer
labs/server, Rooms etc. Electrical Installations in Buildings. Main and distribution
boards – transformers – switch gears– substations – space requirement and Layout
of the same in building types
CONVEYING SYSTEMS
Basic design Principles, criteria for planning sizing, selection and layout of vertical
distribution systems – ( lifts, Escalators and moving walkways) along with
mechanical, dimensional details Elevators- types of elevators - design criteria,
capacity, frequency, car size, speed, number and size of elevators, layout of banks
of elevators, planning and locating service cores in buildings, types of elevators –
pit, machine room details – NBC code Escalators and Conveyors parallel and criss
cross escalators, horizontal belt conveyors, horizontal moving walkways – design
criteria, speed size, capacity, number Detailing for comfort, convenience of users-
special features for physically handicapped and elderly - Case studies and exercises
involving in the above.
